How can I see a web image's properties?

[intheflow]

Just switched from a pc to a MacBook Pro. Bought it refurbed so it didn't come with any user guides. To find the image properties with a pc, you right click on the image. No right clicking with the Mac, so how can I find image properties?

Other than that, I love my Mac! Have wanted one since I used one in my first job about 20 years ago, but this is first time I've bought what I wanted and not what was least expensive. :)

1. ctrl click is the same as right click, and properties are there in the popup contextual menu

And don't forget, the mac help system is very good - in the top menu when you are in the finder (click on desktop).

You also ight consider a wacom or 3button mouse to help ease the break-in period.

Once you get used to the modifier keys, it is a pretty smooth transition.

The command key handles most of the ctrl key functions - it is the one with the apple on it. :)

enjoy your macbook, Intheflow!

2. Thanks, Bongo.

:hi:

No need for a special mouse, the break-in process has gone very smoothly. Wonderful to have the 1-key keystroke short cuts, every shortcut on a PC is 2 strokes, minimum. It's also been great that the shortcuts haven't changed since I last used an Apple in the '80's, so it's been kind of like a reunion with an old friend. :-)

It will save clicks like nothing else.

Avoiding rep stress is a good thing.:)

4. Thanks for the QS heads up.

Looks interesting. I'll probably wait a bit to install, my learning curve is still pretty steep with the programs I have. I got the Office for Mac since I've been using MS Office for 20 years, but it's not only learning the Mac keystrokes, it's also getting used to the updated programs. Both my old computer and my office computer have 5-year old software, so I have to learn all the new bells and whistles all over again. Same with the Photoshop updates. (But, man, don't I like the ease of image work on a Mac over a PC! :))

Still, I bookmarked this thread to check into Quicksilver soon. :hi:
